I thought this was going to be an antichamber type of game, am not expecting a platformer. Anyway, I like the toggle mechanics that make the game feel unique, just that it ended too quickly that by the time I think I understand how that works the game just ended. Speaking of the ending, is there a way to not pick up the phone and have another ending? 

Other things I like:

  • The buildup towards the final is nice
  • Despite being a dark game its not so dark that the eyes start to become painful

Suggestions:

  • Would want more toggle platforming!
  • Maybe some way to preview what's there after the toggle before actually doing it, so that the player can make more informed decisions when platforming?
  • It would be nice if the whole game tied more to the phone/don't answer theme? It seems like both are separate things jamming into the same game

I liked the main world switching mechanic but it felt too short and I wanted to play with it more. It does sell the creepy feeling of a sterile foreign space quite well, especially the ending spook. All in all I just wish there was a little more to mess around with!

SO many cool concepts in this one. The flashlight mechanic is so awesome.

Interesting platformer concept, though I'm not exactly sure what the story was or what the phone had to do with anything. I liked the audio, though I couldn't figure out how to fullscreen and there's no bounds on the camera's movement so you can invert your view pretty easily which was a bit annoying.

I cant launch the game, you have to include a .pck file in the download. since you cant edit the file anymore, i suggest going to the discord server and creating a ticket. the host can change it for you
